    Interesting. I was under the impression that the trans brain theory was debunked ages ago.a

      not debunked, just made more complicated - the evidence still points to gender identity being biological, fixed (not subject to social or psychological influences), and the result of the early development of the brain, but … it’s not like we have some clear “gender essence” in the way that some people wrongly assume, that is there are no clear “female” and “male” brains, instead all people (cis and trans) seem to have complex sexually dimorphic brain structures that don’t fit neatly into that kind of categorization.
